I liked Simulation Theory as is, but the extended version has a lot of cool experiments like this that, imo, actually work better than the originals. The Gospel version of Dig Down is very cool, and the acoustic cover of Something Human is lovely.
Obligatiory recommendedation: Jason co-hosts a gaming news podcast called Triple Click, alongside Maddy Myers, Deputy Games Editor at Polygon, and Kirk Hamilton, formerly of Kotaku and now host of Strong Songs. They're excellent at their work.
I'm romancing Shadow (and also Gale, apparently), and when Lae'zel found out she basically said, "your loss, istik. I'mma go bang Wyll."
Respect.

Ezra is a practical soul at heart, no matter what he says.
To assume something isn't true based solely on the fact that you've never experienced it demonstrates a profound lack of empathy and critical thought. So does taking the time to complain about trans people in a meme instead of having an actual conversation with another human being.
If you take the time to do the latter instead, you might develop a shred of empathy, but you're afraid to, because that might mean you have to admit that you're wrong.
This article has a pretty negative slant, but is anyone actually sad they're going? I've been playing on and off since 2014, and I never have enough shards. My friends that have played almost nonstop since launch constantly have more than they could ever spend, even if they masterworked every piece of gear in their collection. Seems like a good change, honestly.
I know this is obvious, but Cash's beliefs are endlessly fascinating. The same man who recorded "Ragged Old Flag" also wrote "Man in Black" and covered "Out Among the Stars." The latter is a song about a kid who commits suicide by cop because he doesn't feel like his life matters.
I don't know what memes I expected to see today, but I certainly wasn't expecting a Warriors one. Well played.
Three people come to mind right away:
Karen O for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
And while she's not an alt artist per se, this is a cover of an alternative song, so I'mma post it anyway, lol. I love Brandi and Catherine Carlile's version of Closer to Fine
Sounds like the way Civ players wage war. "Oh, you sacked a city state I'm allied with? Well I just nuked your entire empire!"
Clairo's Sofia is a catchy song and a sweet romance.
I understand that Beth delayed the review codes, but I don't quite understand why. The subtext of this article seems to suggest that they expect higher reviews from other outlets. Is that the case?
Whaaa?? That's the coolest thing I've heard all day!
Tl;dr: "I'm making broad, sweeping generalizations that condemn everyone who thinks differently than I do, while at the same time accusing everyone I disagree with of making broad, sweeping generalizations about me. People with different lifestyles than my own scare me, and instead of trying to learn or develop empathy, I'm going to complain that the rest of the world doesn't loath trans and poor people as much as I do and daydream about a society where they don't exist."
The greatest trick the far right ever pulled was convincing the country that "activist" is a bad word.
Looks like these versions will actually have discs, unlike last time. Lol.
